Aimpoint PRO Sight; Product Review

[MikePal]

I guess if you want a good product reiew.....a pic is worth a thousand words.

A fire on the night of February 18 drove Paul Riddell, his pregnant wife Katie, and their two kids out into the bitter cold in only their pajamas as they watched their home burn. The fire consumed nearly everything—photos, heirlooms, prized possessions—and anything that was not destroyed in the fire was left to freeze in the ice that was left over from the firefighters’ water hoses.

Weeks later, Paul rummaged through the remains of his house to see if there was anything worth salvaging. Among the ashes he found his three firearms. They were burnt to a crisp, but in a surprising turn an Aimpoint PRO red dot sight he had mounted on an AR-15 survived the inferno—and its dot reticle still functioned.

“Here’s a picture of my AR after it was recovered from my house fire after being exposed to the elements for over a month in late February to mid March,” Paul told Recoil. “The rifle was at the core of the fire.”

Despite looking like it’s been dipped into a volcano, the Aimpoint turned on when Paul cranked the knob. In fact, Paul added that he wouldn’t be surprised if the sight was still zeroed, although the rifle is hardly in any condition in which it could be safely fired.
